“Isaiah has expressed his interest in transferring,” Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said via a UI news release. “Isaiah has been a valuable member of our program the last four years. We appreciate Isaiah’s contributions and wish him good luck in his future endeavors.”

“I would like to thank my teammates and coaches, and all the fans for being there for me,” Moss said via that same news release. “The last four years have been a great experience.”

Moss started 96 games for the Hawkeyes over his three seasons, with a career scoring average of 8.9 points. He averaged 9.2 last season, fifth on the team. He was fourth in the Big Ten in 3-point percentage with 48 of 114 for .421.

Iowa recruited Moss out of Chicago, and he redshirted his first season at Iowa. A 6-foot-5 guard he made 126 3-pointers in his career.

Two of his best games were at Minnesota. Last year he scored 19 points in the game’s final 1:36 en route to his career-high 32 points. His season-high in the 2018-19 season was 23 points, also at Minnesota.

Guard D.J. Harvey and forwards Sam Hauser and Joey Hauser are transfers considering Iowa among their destinations. Harvey just finished his sophomore season at Notre Dame, averaging 10.7 points. Sam Hauser is a 6-8 swingman who averaged 14.9 points and 7.2 rebounds at Marquette last season. His brother, Joey, is 6-9. He averaged 9.7 points and 5.3 rebounds for Marquette.
